the #Seattle Office of Civil Rights was asked to assess the risks of increasing video surveillance in Seattle. The office found that research based in law, social science, and behavioral science does not support the argument that these surveillance technologies reduce felonies, violent crimes, gun violence, or human trafficking. But there’s a large body of evidence that shows that it is not neutral, and it carries “direct consequences for equal protection, privacy, and the freedoms of speech and association“
